The Creator is to be remembered in due time.1 ¶ Rememberºª now² thy Creatorºª in the daysº of thy youth,º while²² the evilº daysº comeºª not,² nor the yearsº draw nigh,ºª when² thou shalt say,ºª I have no² pleasureº in them; 2 While²² the sun,º or the light,º or the moon,º or the stars,º be not² darkened,ºª nor the cloudsº returnºª afterº the rain:º 3 In the dayº when the keepersºª of the houseº shall tremble,ºª² and the strongº men¹² shall bow¹ª themselves,² and the grindersºª ceaseºª because² they are few,ºª and those that look² out¹ª of the windowsº be darkened,ºª 4 And the doorsº shall be shutºª in the streets,º when the soundº of the grindingº is low,¹² and he shall rise upºª at the voiceº of the bird,º and all² the daughtersº of musickº shall be brought low;ºª 5 Also² [when] they shall be afraidºª of [that which is] high,º² and fearsº [shall be] in the way,º and the almond treeº shall flourish,ºª and the grasshopperº shall be a burden,ºª and desireº shall fail:ºª because² manº goethºª to² his longº home,º and the mournersºª go aboutºª the streets:º 6 Or² everº² the silverº cordº be loosed,ºª¹ª or the goldenº bowlº be broken,ºª or the pitcherº be brokenºª at² the fountain,º or the wheelº brokenºª at² the cistern.º 7 Then shall the dustº returnºª to² the earthº as it was:²² and the spiritº shall returnºª unto² Godº who² gaveºª it. [1] Gn 39:2, 8, 23; 1S 1:28; 2:18, 26; 3:19; 16:7, 12; 17:36; 2S 19:35; 1K 3:6; 14:13; 18:12; 2Ch 34:2; Jb 30:2; Ps 22:9; 34:11; 71:17; 90:10; Pv 8:17; 22:6; Ec 11:8, 10; Is 26:8; Lm 3:27; Dn 1:8, 17; Ho 7:9; Lk 1:15; 2:40; 18:16; Ep 6:4; 2Ti 3:15.

The preacher's care to edify.8 ¶ Vanityº of vanities,º saithºª the preacher;º all² [is] vanity.º 9 And moreover,º because the preacherº was²² wise,º he still² taughtºª² the peopleº knowledge;º yea, he gave good heed,¹ª² and sought out,ºª [and] set in orderºª manyºª proverbs.º 10 The preacherº soughtºª to find outºª acceptableº words:º and [that which was] writtenºª [was] upright,º [even] wordsº of truth.º 11 The wordsº of the wiseº [are] as goads,º and as nailsº fastenedºª [by] the mastersº of assemblies,º [which] are givenºª from one¹ shepherd.ºª²² 12 And further,º by these,º² my son,º be admonished:ºª of makingºª manyºª booksº [there is] no² end;º and muchºª studyº [is] a wearinessº of the flesh.º [8] Ps 62:9; Ec 1:2, 14; 2:17; 4:4; 6:12; 8:8.
